Sandy Hook: Did an AR-15 Do This?

Found this video recently and thought it was worth bringing forward for opinions. This is the first time I've seen this brought up, and I'm hoping
someone here might have enough knowledge of firearms to enlighten us as to the validity of this person's theory.

Essentially, the question is whether the gray powdery residue left on the damaged book shelf just inside the front of the school could be evidence
that a shotgun breaching round was used to shatter the glass where the shooter(s) entered the school.

If so, the official claim that the AR-15 was used to gain entry comes into question.

For those who are unaware, like I was:

A breaching round or slug-shot is a shotgun shell specially made for the purposes of door breaching. It is typically fired at a range of 6 inches
(15 cm) or less, aimed at the hinges or the area between the doorknob and lock and doorjamb, and is designed to destroy the object it hits and then
disperse into a relatively harmless powder.

Examples of breaching rounds are:

The US Military M1030 breaching round, a 12 gauge 2¾ inch (70 mm) shell which uses a 40 gram (1.4 ounce) projectile made of powdered steel, bound
with wax.

As I noted above, I'm not very firearm savvy, so I can't really make any strong claims about this. I will say that to my untrained eye the residue on
the book shelf at the school and the residue in the other photos look very similar.

I will also divulge the fact that I believe Adam Lanza was set up like a bowling pin, that certain people in positions of authority are fully aware of
it and that there has been a cover-up.

Who done it, why and how I can't say. But I feel pretty sure that we've been had in this instance.

It's always a good thing to expose the untruths and outright lies in government sponsored tyranny like SH. The fact that the state police spokesman
threatened people not to do their own investigation or try to disagree with anything they said happened, (kind of a dead giveaway)..

And about the breaching round, a .223 wouldn't have done it, plus there were so many conflicting things being cited as fact just like this that it
appeared to be an improvisation where the actors make up the words as they go along. With those, almost every sentence spoken were later being changed
to fit their newer facts, and then rinse and repeat those even..You could call it "Data Anarchy"

People in government and law enforcement who knowingly contributed to this deception should be hung in a gallows after being convicted of murdering
children, but then you would see them all confess in court something else happened to save themselves from the noose.
Perhaps then the people would get the truth.

More intriguing information indicating that Sandy Hook was probably not perpetrated by Adam Lanza alone, or at all for that matter. He likely would
not have had access to equipment like that. So many inconsistencies in the story. Solid forensic evidence here it seems. Of course the school has long
since been destroyed. How convenient. S & F for bringing it forward.

This looks to me like the standard tempered safety glass, it shatters into tiny pieces and very easily falls onto itself opening up a larger hole. I
have removed this with a digging bar and a pointed end it didn't make a hole when it shattered it basically fell to the ground about a 36" X 60"
section. Having shot a AR many times, if close enough after the initial penetration the gas pressure from the muzzle could do this easily.

If this was laminated tempered safety glass the result would be much different this type of glass is found in something like the window of a car.

The magazine rack is a another can of worms, an AR wouldn't do this in 223 or 308. This I cannot explain. But the glass can be explained from my
experience.

No telling. The 5.56 is an incredibly powerful cartridge even if the bullet weight isn't much to speak of. I would expect someone considered the
fragmentation effects ... but maybe the entry location just didn't get as much attention as the main event.

Did you notice the label below the hole in the magazine rack? Was that finger-print powder applied by an over zealous detective during the forensic
examination (remember it's been labeled)?

But why would the detective be using fingerprint powder on a bullet hole?
I'm no forensic guy but that seems a bit strange.

I'd be saying the same thing, but ... the pressure to perform and the scrutiny everything was under could well have caused overreaction at every
level. People are funny creatures and a guy with a fingerprint test kit may have dusted everything just to be on the safe side.

It's good the question is being asked. I think we should not be remiss in hypothesizing potential cause.

Is that where he gained entry? If it was maybe he shot it a few times to shatter it then knocked it open with the butt stock? But anyways I don't
believe a single official statement of the shooting. I think they're lying and covering up important info.

I have a little experience in this area. The glass is definitely possible. 5.56 is extremely fast and makes up for being light on the weight side with
speed, rough;y 3000 fps. As far as the blown out glass door, there is glass on both sides of the door. I would find that consistent. The impact of
the round would basically explode the door and glass would be found on both sides. He was probably using a full metal jacket round, as that is what is
most common out there. A hard round will shatter before punching a hole. An example would be shooting a car window with an air rifle. A lead pellet
will usually leave a hole. A bb, will usually shatter it. The glass with the huge hole is probably a result of a shatter, and then partial collapse.
My first thought was he shot it and then knocked some out and went through it. Just an observation, havent really followed this.
This is breaching round. www.ammunitiondepot.com...
Basically a frangible projectile that will wreck what ever its fired at and break apart.
The wood with the holes and residue is a bit odd. I would say a shotgun did that. Could be a crude explosive device, kinda looks like powder and
shrapnel, like it may have gone off right next to it.
ymmv

The 5.56 is an incredibly powerful cartridge?You have got to be kidding!Strange as how I can`t get the 5.56 to penetrate auto windshield reliably,yet
a 30-06 will go through the glass through the entire interior and through the gas tank and into the ground.Incredibly powerful?Geez!

To me it looks like the bookshelf is an 'exit' wound. Bullet breaks up and spalls and will make a pattern like that after it hits something solid.
Kind of a weird place for it. Makes more sense to me though than someone running around with a shotgun. That would be a weird shotgun pattern that
close.

I'd be amazed if you were firing a 55 gr bullet from a 30-06 cartridge. LOL
